Description

Method for suppressing intensity noise of high-power continuous wave single-frequency laser
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of laser, in particular to a method for inhibiting intensity noise of a high-power continuous wave single-frequency laser.
Background
Laser has the characteristics of extremely small divergence, very high brightness, good monochromaticity, good coherence and the like, and is applied to many fields in production and life of people since the past. With the development of the times, in some emerging subjects such as quantum optics and quantum information, precision measurement, atomic cooling and capture, gravitational wave detection and other fields, people put forward higher requirements on the beam quality of laser, and the laser has lower intensity noise while realizing high-power output.
Various intensity noise suppression techniques for lasers have been developed, such as seed light injection locking technique, photoelectric positive and negative feedback technique, mode cleaning or cascaded mode cleaning noise filtering technique, self-injection locking technique, introduction of nonlinear loss in the resonant cavity, and the like. The implementation of the above methods requires the introduction of external instruments, which necessarily impose limitations or impacts on the manufacturing cost, volume, output characteristics, and application of the laser. Wherein:
the seed light injection locking technology is that the oscillation frequency of a high-power oscillator is accurately locked to the oscillation frequency of a low-power high-quality seed source laser, and then the oscillation of the high-power laser is dragged and controlled. The system needs to adopt a plurality of sets of locking loops to improve the output power and the frequency stability of the seed injection locking system, and the use of the photoelectric servo system not only can introduce extra electric noise, but also can cause the system to have extremely sensitive influence on the environment.
The photoelectric negative feedback technology is that the intensity noise of the laser is restrained by photoelectric negative feedback, namely, the feedback electric signal is directly coupled to the driving current of the laser diode, and the noise is restrained by modulating a pumping source. In this noise suppression scheme, the use of an electro-optical servo system not only introduces additional electrical noise.
Filtering the noise of the laser with a single or cascaded mode cleaner filters mainly the noise in the high frequency band of the laser, i.e. the frequency at which the laser reaches the shot noise reference in advance of the intensity noise spectrum. This method has little effect on intensity noise at the relaxation oscillation frequency of the laser and introduces additional thermal noise even at frequencies in the hertz range.
Although the self-injection locking technology can effectively inhibit relaxation oscillation of the laser and intensity noise at high frequency, the long-term power stability of the laser is poor due to the use of the composite cavity structure, especially in an all-solid-state laser-based self-injection locking system.
By introducing nonlinear loss into the resonant cavity to change the dynamic process of the laser, the intensity noise at the relaxation oscillation of the laser can be effectively suppressed, but the method has little effect on the intensity noise at the high frequency of the laser (laser shot noise reference).
